Decisions, Decisions

You can call me crazy --although I would prefer quirky -- but I can't decide what bag I should use when I'm in DisneyWorld.

Understand: one of the great quests of my life has been for the perfect bag. Oh come on, you know I'm not alone in this. Anyway, I'm pretty much okay with my everyday bag at this point, and I even have the one perfect piece of luggage (or so I'd like to think) to take on the trip. The question is: what will I carry around each day as I go through the parks?

I have been to DW before, of course, and so I have addressed this issue before. I've done it well and I've done it badly. I think my favorite was when my sister and I drove down with the kids; I wore a kid "Hakuna Matata" plastic backpack every day in the parks. I'm not so comfy with the backpacks anymore, and I think I may have finally overcome my interest in displaying products that are more commonly seen on four-year-olds. (Although I will still keep my daily spending cash at DW in my Fort Wilderness Mickey Mouse plastic wallet. Some things are just tradition, you know.)

I'm looking for a smallish-to-medium size messenger bag. I probably have one in the house that I can't find, or K does. This one is taking a lot of willpower. I know I have two months to decide, or more precisely, according to my desktop widget, 51 days, 8 hours, and 9 minutes. Although I'll probably have to pack the night before, I would think, so I actually have 50 days to pick a bag. I'd better get on it.

I'm also looking for the perfect lunchbag, now that I've decided to a) start bringing my lunch again, and b) what to bring for lunch, which will be some sort of frozen low-calorie meal. My freezer is stocked, and I'll go to the Container Store after school tomorrow. I went to Target before -- it is Sunday, after all -- but they didn't have what I wanted, although it's on their website.

Very strange day today. Our cable started misbehaving last night, so I called them this morning, and after sending signals to the cable box, I set up an appointment for someone to come after school on Thursday. But the second I hung up, the guy called me back and said he could send someone today, but it would be any time between 10am and 8pm. Oh well, I didn't have anything planned anyway; the girls were going to an outlet mall and I just didn't have the patience for that. But the guy came around 2.30 and has allegedly fixed everything, so I went to Target after that.

It was very nice having this long weekend. I really could get used to this full-time.
